Dreamhost hosting plan is come with backup feature, that offering you 4gb web storage space for backup your files and setting. If you having hosting account, probably there will be some setting done to account, and there are lots of files and database involved as well. You need to perform some backup regulary to prevent data lost. Dreamhost hosting is now with 4gb backup storage space.
But there is huge limitation to dreamhost backup feaature so far. For example, the backup service might take days to complete your single backup request. Another issue is that you can only perform backup once every 30 days. There might be data lost between the 30 days next backup task.
“Your ENTIRE account is now scheduled to be backed up! This can take a while since you may have a lot of data to archive, however we will send you an email once it finishes with instructions for downloading your backed up-data!”
“Your account backup is currently scheduled and may take as long as several days. You will be emailed when it finishes!“
Dreamhost hosting currently selling SSL certificate at $99.95 per year, thats the private SSL certificate you need for setting up https secure website for your domain. $100 dollars SSL certificate is too expensive, and we are normally find it price around $30 to $50 dollars cheap only. Its getting cheaper over the recent year too, $100 dollars is too much to ask!
Dreamhost SSL cert is now at discount price of $15 only. Purchase it if you need to setup own secure webpage. Unique IP address at $3.95 per month, thats quit expensive, hope its price can be reduced soon.

Find the real dreamhost review at http://www.dreamhostreview.org. This dreamhost review site is my personal wordpress blog, hosted with dreamhost web hosting, and using their shared hosting plan with dreamhost custom control panel.
In the late few months, there were no special discount or promotion from dreamhost web hosting. And there were no promotion for mother day, summer holiday, father day, or 4th july sales. Dreamhost hosting is not organising special promotion period for that. While most other web hosting companies are throwing sales and promotion for the events. So, its all original & regular price at dreamhost.
Dreamhost hosting uptime for the late few months are falling terrible. I am getting about 99.6% for the May 2008 dreamhost uptime. I am expecting for something near to 99.9%, even if they cant deliver it. Definately not 99.6% level.
